The Sharia Threat

Firts off let me say I’m no longer a practising RC but still find myself defending the Roman Catholic Church, albeit reluctantly. The reason is at the end of this post.

Roman Catholics are distrusted for historical reasons stretching back centuries in Europe. But there was a military incident in the Mexican-American War that severely complicated the issue for U.S.citizens who were Catholic.

During a battle in that war the Mexicans were losing. They appealed to Irish immigrant U.S. soldiers/cavalrymen that their Roman Catholicism made them more akin to Mexicans than to the Protestants in power in the U.S.A. The Irish went over to the Mexican forces and the remaining American force was slaughtered.

To say this poorly affected the reputation of Irish immigrants in the U.S.A. is an understatement.

As to Catholicism being a threat to national security in the present, well, take a look at how the RC heiracrchy is behaving about the invasion of the U.S. by Mexican illegals. Their stance is disgraceful, and violates the division between church and state.

Standing up for protecting the unborn from murder has my support as life is a right from God.

Interfereing in the sovereign right of a nation’s people to collectively determine immigration policy does not have my support. The RC church heirarchy is trespassing dangerously outside their hallowed responsibilities.
